@Lukfi: In a month, it will be do-able to crunch on the AthlonXP and Core 2 Duo and get 25000 WCG points (which should not be confused with BOINC points). There is no strict need to crunch on the GTX 560 although it is encouraged to do so if you do not mind the additional power draw.

Well I'm not running it 24/7, not even close. Right now I have just over 700 points per avg calendar day. The GPU should help though.

Ah, I just realize this.
Same with ALMOSTunseen, I will decline any hardware and high value prizes.

I don't mean to be rude but for me the reason is simple : my location. It's hard to do overseas shipping to my country and if it can be done the risk of DOA is very high. I want no trouble at all for our generous members that already donated their hard earned hardware, so please keep my name out from any hardware and high value prizes.

I am crunching on two machines, my main workstation has a Core 2 Duo E8500 and a GeForce GTX 560 Ti (which I will put to work when I am AFK now that I need those 25k points), the second PC is an Athlon XP 2500+.

That will absolutely be enough--you should be able to get 25k points in ~3 days with those

Actually, it is BOINC points that we count for this--I need to go clarify the OP

Only thing that confuses me is how to enable it. Do I stop all the running tasks and exit BOINC? Or do I have to wait for all tasks to finish before the new settings take into effect?

Oh, to make the new settings take into effect you need to restart (just exit, no need to suspend/stop ongoing task and then open the client again) your BOINC manager after updating your app_config file.

one question, will the i7 and x79 mobo be separate prizes or maybe the grand prize? i mean with all the ppl participating, i doubt many of us could afford to buy the other piece of hardware if they were separate.

So, How do I join(Apart from just writing it as new post)? Is there a registration process / Some software I have run in! Please help here, as I REALLY WANT TO BE IN THIS ONE - And also, count me IN too.
